Error talking to remote storage daemon

OK, I've got my tape drive working (thanks Ana!) but I'm having trouble connecting to the autochanger it's in using the director. This is the first time I've tried having a storage daemon on a different machine than the director. The director is a slightly lower version (7.4.3 on Debian Jessie using backports) than the storage daemon (7.4.4 on stretch) but I had understood that those versions were close enough to work.

So I'm hoping this is another configuration issue.

Right now what I'm trying to do is label all the tapes in the new library.

When I try to access the new storage from the director, it is able to get a listing of all the tapes, but it fails when it tries to actually do the labeling. I get a "3999 Device not found or could not be opened" error. These errors show up quickly, there is no delay as it tries each slot, so it's obviously not getting far enough to try. But it *is* obviously connecting to the remote storage, otherwise it wouldn't be able to obtain the slot list.

So with the pretend-single-drive-is-an-autochanger hack, I'm supposed to
give the *DIRECTOR* a Storage resource pointed to the "autochanger", and
I give the *STORAGE daemon* an Autochanger resource pointing to its
standalone drive as a Device?

Oops. Premature send.

I meant to also ask:
If I'm only PRETENDING to have an autochanger, what do I use as the
changer command and changer device?
